The Psalms

chapter 7


Chapters:


verse #1

A meditation by David, which he sang to Yahweh, concerning the words of Cush, the Benjamite. Yahweh, my God, I take refuge in you. Save me from all those who pursue me, and deliver me,


verse #2

lest they tear apart my soul like a lion, ripping it in pieces, while there is no one to deliver.


verse #3

Yahweh, my God, if I have done this, if there is iniquity in my hands,


verse #4

if I have rewarded evil to him who was at peace with me (yes, I have delivered him who without cause was my adversary),


verse #5

let the enemy pursue my soul, and overtake it; yes, let him tread my life down to the earth, and lay my glory in the dust. Selah.


verse #6

Arise, Yahweh, in your anger. Lift up yourself against the rage of my adversaries. Awake for me. You have commanded judgment.


verse #7

Let the congregation of the peoples surround you. Rule over them on high.


verse #8

Yahweh administers judgment to the peoples. Judge me, Yahweh, according to my righteousness, and to my integrity that is in me.


verse #9

Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, but establish the righteous; their minds and hearts are searched by the righteous God.


verse #10

My shield is with God, who saves the upright in heart.


verse #11

God is a righteous judge, yes, a God who has indignation every day.


verse #12

If a man doesn’t repent, he will sharpen his sword; he has bent and strung his bow.


verse #13

He has also prepared for himself the instruments of death. He makes ready his flaming arrows.


verse #14

Behold, he travails with iniquity. Yes, he has conceived mischief, and brought out falsehood.


verse #15

He has dug a hole, and has fallen into the pit which he made.


verse #16

The trouble he causes shall return to his own head. His violence shall come down on the crown of his own head.


verse #17

I will give thanks to Yahweh according to his righteousness, and will sing praise to the name of Yahweh Most High.
